On this Thankful Thursday, our beautiful little Sanctuary resident Gertie says hello. Gertie has lived here in Sanctuary for almost 2 months now and despite facing health challenges, she has an amazing spirit. 

Gertie is a very happy, spunky, little girl who has a great appetite, enjoys playtime with the other dogs and a nice lap to sit on. She does tire easily and frequently naps, but once she gets up she is ready to get moving once again. 

Her favorite pastime is snacking on gullet sticks, and because she values them so much she also hoards them under the mattress. No one can get near her bed, not human, and most certainly not other dogs unless she’s off doing another activity. And once we are done cleaning and changing all the bedding, she starts her collection all over again.

Simply enjoying something as simple as a gullet stick is one of the best moments in Gertie’s life that might have never been. 

Dogs like Gertie inspire us here at Paws Give Me Purpose to become even better human beings. Because of supporters like you, we have been able to give Gertie and all the dogs living here in Sanctuary the best gift possible, a new life.

As our rescuing continues, Paws Give Me Purpose welcomes our newest resident, the adorable Shaggy to Sanctuary. 

Alone, heartbroken and blind, this precious senior found himself wandering the streets of Baltimore and was taken to a shelter where he sat afraid and confused, waiting for his family to come and find him; unfortunately, that never happened. 

Did he just get too old to be loved? Whatever the case, this 15 year old soul was clearly tossed out like a piece of trash and sadly seen as not deserving of dignity.

Shaggy is a 7 pound Silky Terrier who is not only blind, but he suffers from regenerative anemia, has a serious heart murmur, and as if that’s not enough, he has some very bad arthritis. 

The most heartbreaking part to us is that this sweet boy has absolutely suffered for a very long time, yet even though he is blind, he looks up at us with hope in his eyes.

Above all else, we at Paws Give Me Purpose put quality of life first, and Shaggy most certainly has shown us his desire for life, for love and this second chance. 

Our mailbox and voicemail are full, the requests for Sanctuary are nonstop. It is heartbreaking work and we work 24/7 to make sure these deserving souls receive the second chance they deserve for no matter how long they are with us. As long as there are dogs like Shaggy in the world, we will be here, fighting for them.

We cannot continue to do so without YOUR help. We are truly just scraping by and honestly are not sure how much longer we can do this. 

Without YOU we can no longer help dogs like Shaggy who suffer at the hands of careless, heartless people who treat them like objects that can be simply discarded when they are done with them – so please give.

Last but certainly not least, we would like to introduce you to our third and final newest Sanctuary resident, Ash!

Imagine waking up one day and finding that everything in your world is different. The family you’ve come to know and love is gone. Your bed, your belongings, and even the comfy couch you used to lay on, all gone.

This beautiful senior soul found himself behind shelter walls sad and confused after being abandoned on the streets by those he thought would love him forever. 

Estimated to be 12+ years of age, Ash’s sadness is palpable. He is extremely emaciated, has many fractured teeth, inflamed gums, and a bone infection in his jaw. Additionally, nuclear sclerosis of his eyes is causing limited vision and there is a large mass on his sternum. 

Ash has received the urgent and necessary medical care he required and deserved, and with your continued help, we will provide him with only the BEST care possible so he can enjoy his golden years to the fullest! 

The goal right now is to get him healthy enough to remove the mass, send it out for biopsy and if he is stable enough a thorough dental as well. 

With donations and an all time low, we are truly just scraping by and honestly are not sure how much longer we can do this – we need YOUR help now more than ever! 

Please open your hearts, help us fight to give Ash the opportunity to live the best life possible in his remaining years. We cannot do this without YOU!
